Join
us for a special event with Dr. Sara Goldrick-Rab, professor of Higher
Education Policy and Sociology at Temple University and Founder of the
Wisconsin HOPE Lab, the nation's only translational research laboratory
seeking way to make college more affordable.

She is best known for her innovative research on food and housing
insecurity in higher education, having led the three largest national
studies on the subject, and for her work on making public higher
education free.

She is the recipient of the William T. Grant
Foundation’s Faculty Scholars Award and the American Educational
Research Association’s Early Career Award, and in 2016 POLITICO magazine named her one of the top 50 people shaping American politics.

Her latest book, "Paying the Price: College Costs, Financial Aid, and
the Betrayal of the American Dream" (University of Chicago, 2016), is an
Amazon best-seller and a 2018 winner of the Grawemeyer Award, and has
been featured on the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, the New York Review of
Books, and CSPAN’s Book TV, among other venues.

The Chronicle
of Higher Education calls her “a defender of impoverished students and a
scholar of their struggles,” and she is ranked 7th in the nation among
education scholars according to Education Week.
